“This is the rarely seen 'nuclear safety concern based on arbitrary value of a randomly selected parameter'. Haven't seen this move for years.

They've gone for age, and picked 31. Not 32, not 30. 31's when safe ends.

So to logic; you think the calculation of earthquake forces is wrong - shut down all. You think the calculation of flooding, or the vulnerability to common cause failure in flooding is wrong - shut down the ones on the coast. You're worried about that specific design - shut those down.

But no. This has the special feature of causing lots of economic damage whilst fundamentally failing to address any legitimate safety concerns.
